Currently I m starting a new Activity and calling finish on a current one Is there any flag that can be passed to Intent that enables finishing current Activity without a need to call finish manually from code

Start new Activity and finish current one in Android?

You can use finish() method or you can use:

android:noHistory="true"

And then there is no need to call finish() anymore.

<activity android:name=".ClassName" android:noHistory="true" ... />
